"What major are you studying?"
Bao Xuexin was a little helpless when talking about this. "My parents asked me to study economics, saying that I would inherit the family business when I return home."
He just wants to go to school now, no matter what major he chooses.
Bao Xuexin also has an older sister who joined the company after graduating from university. Her leadership ability is impeccable, but his parents still want him to join the company.
He always felt that since they were both their parents' children, the company's shares should be divided equally between the siblings.
If it were up to him, his sister should get the lion's share of the company's profits. After all, his sister's abilities were evident, and he himself didn't want to join the company.
He and his sister have always had a good relationship since they were young, and what his parents said really made him feel uncomfortable.
But he is powerless now and his parents won't listen to him.
Now you have to hide for a while, and when you have established your career, you will have the right to say no.
After having afternoon tea at home, several people left one after another, and Ningxia also strolled towards her parents' supermarket.
The area of this store is about the same as the supermarket at home. I opened a supermarket next because I was already familiar with it, and it was not tiring, worry-free, and profitable.
There are no supermarkets nearby, so it’s a good place to open a supermarket.
Ningxia bought this place after inspecting the surrounding shops. It is also not far from home, only a ten-minute drive away, and it is convenient for my parents to come home for dinner.
When Ningxia arrived, the store had been almost completely renovated and even the shelves had been delivered. Now all that was left was to put the goods and the signboards on it.
"Xia Xia, why are you here?"
"Get out, get out. There's dust everywhere here. You'll get your clothes dirty."
Ningxia smiled, put on cleaning clothes and walked in.
After dinner, Ningxia called Dong Su.
Wan Sheng had already given him the phone number of Mr. Ning, the boss. Dong Su saw the caller ID on his phone and picked up the phone immediately.
"The company doesn't have a suitable script either. You can contact Jiao Bo at Qidian. I've already made arrangements with them."
"Okay, Boss. I've also started reading the novel 'Love Me If You Dare' that you recommended."
Ningxia had no objection and knew that Jiao Bo had already contacted Dong Su.
"I recommend two novels to you."
"You say."
During this period of time, Dong Su has determined that Ningxia is the backbone of the company, the stabilizer.
"'Simple and Beautiful Times' and 'I Am a Special Forces Soldier' are both good. The author's two tomb-raiding novels, 'The Landlady' and 'The White Rose Song', are also good. You can refer to them."
Dong Su certainly knew that the novels of "Landlord" and "Bai Zhuge" were both very good, but their websites were not as wealthy as Fanyu.
He had heard that the adaptation rights for these two novels were priced sky-high.
"Boss, whether it's the novels by [Landlady] or [Bai Zhuge], we... can't afford them."
Even though the company is making money, it can't spend all of it on buying copyrights.
"Don't worry."
"Just contact Qidian and don't worry about the price."
Dong Su: “…”
The boss is just very rich, and his tone is too relaxed.
A day later, Dong Su finally understood what Ningxia meant.
Have you ever seen someone buying something and the seller excitedly tells you to take whatever you want, and it’s free?
He didn't know whether others had seen it or not, but he had seen it anyway.
When Dong Su contacted Qi Dian, he only told her his identity. Then the usually aloof Qi Dian changed his expression instantly, and his attitude became very enthusiastic.
Lao Xuan had no idea that his two bosses were the bosses of iQiyi.
But he knew that his boss Ningxia had called them and that iQiyi could pick any novel copyrighted by her. Not only did Ningxia call him, but even the big boss Jiao Bo called him.
The two of them meant almost the same thing, which is that they just need to count the assessed adaptation price into the TV series investment.
What else can I say? I can only greet them warmly. After all, both bosses agreed.
The person the company sent to buy the copyright came back with the contract the next day. The process was very smooth.
Wang Zhou never expected that the contract signing would go so smoothly. After all, the people in Qidian’s legal department were notoriously difficult to deal with. Who would have thought that not only did they not make things difficult for him, but when he arrived, the editor-in-chief personally came downstairs to greet him.
When he first started his own company, he didn't even ask him to return the novel he had chosen. The editor-in-chief simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, no problem."
His brain froze for several seconds.
This... just agreed so easily? Without even asking the price?
Just when he thought there was a trap waiting for him, he shuddered when he saw the price quotes for each volume of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Ghost Lights".
This price... is probably the ceiling in the adaptation industry.
But he also knew that Qidian was not asking for an exorbitant price. He knew that the price Fanyu wanted to pay for the copyright at that time was more than 10% higher than this offer.
When she nervously asked if she could invest in the TV series with the copyright, she thought the other party would get angry, but who knew that the other party agreed immediately.
And they didn't ask for exorbitant prices and raise the prices of other copyrights.
At that time, he thought that only the authors of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Ghost Lights" were easy to talk to, but it would be hard to talk to other authors. However, when Editor-in-Chief Xuan learned that he also wanted to buy the adaptation rights of the novel "Silent Separation", he agreed immediately, and his tone was so relaxed.
At this point, Wang Zhou finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked his own questions.
"Don't you even need to call the author to ask?"
He was genuinely curious.
Throughout the whole process, I just listened to Editor-in-Chief Xuan’s decision.
Or does Qidian have the final say and doesn't need to consider whether the author agrees to sell the work or not, and whether the author agrees to sell the copyright without taking a penny?
Shouldn't it be?
“The writers in our company are all very easy to talk to.”
Wang Zhou: “…”
If he was a newcomer in the workplace, he would have believed it seeing his sincere expression.
I thought I would be able to meet the author in person when signing the contract.
Who knew that they would send a lawyer with a drafted contract to go with him? From beginning to end, he didn't even meet a few writers.
This made Wang Zhou a little puzzled. If the copyright was sold like this, wouldn’t the author cause trouble in the future?
This is so unconventional.
I returned to the capital in a daze. Before I could figure out what was going on, the other party's lawyer came back with the contract signed by the writer.
Moreover, when he looked at the contract, he found only the writer's pen name but not his real name.
At this moment, the name that popped into my mind was that this was the name that Qidian Company hired someone to sign on my behalf.
Who knew that after he told the whole story to CEO Dong Su, he thought that he would frown and think that something was wrong, but he just said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
Dong Su has received a call from Qidian.
Since the author wants to keep a low profile, he won't ask. He just needs to know that the contract is valid.
After returning to the office and sitting down, Wang Zhou still hadn't figured out the matter.
